NOTE (NOTE On/Off)
When on, this parameter causes drum pad or other input
to trigger NOTE ON and OFF messages to be sent to
external
MIDI
equipment.
COM (Command On/Off)
-
-...-. .-.•
When on, this parameter allows-the^DRM-i to send
a message to external MIDI equipment when starting or
stopping rhythm pattern playback (PTN START/STOP),
or starting playback after a pause (PTN CONT/STOP).
Setting this parameter to off causes the DRM-1 to
suppress message transmission.
CLK (Clock On/Off)
When on, this parameter allows the DRM-1 to send
internal clock signals to external MIDI equipment during
rhythm pattern playback. When the parameter is off, the
DRM-1 suppresses transmission of clock signals.
POS (Song Position Pointer On/Off)
When set to on, this parameter causes the DRM-1 to
transmit a song position pointer message when selecting
a new playback location.
(For details, see the "Loca
tion Display" section of the PATTERN-group functions
on page 14.)
The message will not be transmitted when
the cursor is in the XO position of the location field,
(See the "Changing the Location" section for details.)
SEL (Song Select On/Off)
When set to on, this parameter causes the DRM-1 to
transmit a song select message when selecting a pattern
number.
(For details, see the "PATTERN" section of
the PATTER N-group functions on page 15.)
DIST TIME (Distance Time)
This parameter controls the duration between NOTE ON
and NOTE OFF messages the DRM-1 sends to an exter
nal sound source. The duration may be changed in in
crements of 16 between 00 and 512 milliseconds (ap
proximately 0 to 0.5 seconds). This parameter delays
the NOTE OFF message to allow sound generation from
an external sound source to have a longer gate or decay
time.

EDITING THE PARAMETERS 5
(DMA TRANSFER GROUP)
The DATA TRANSFER group allows the DRM-1 to
exchange memory contents such as rhythm patterns and
parameter settings with a RAM card and other external
MIDI equipment.
The Figure below shows how the DRM-1 transfers data,
which is always sent in units of data assigned to pattern
or setting number 00 to 15.
The DATA TRANSFER group also provides a function
for a system reset, which returns the memory-resident
settings to the default values.
Initiating a system reset
deletes all data for rhythm patterns or parameter settings.
Be sure to back up the necessary data before a system
reset.
SETTING DATA
RAM
CARD
The data stored on RAM and ROM cards is sus
ceptible to loss due to static electricity. Before load
ing or removing a memory card, touch any one of
the metal connectors on the back of the DRM-1.
This procedure dischatges any static electricity that
may be on your body.
SELECT
The SELECT key specifies whether the DRM-1 will
exchange data with a memory card or external MIDI
equipment. This key is also used to specify whether
the data to be transferred contains rhythm patterns or
settings.
